Eliquis (active ingredient: apixaban) is a prescription medication used to help prevent and treat blood clots. It belongs to a group of medicines called direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), also known as factor Xa inhibitors. Eliquis works by reducing the blood’s ability to form harmful clots.

Eliquis is indicated for the following uses:

  • Prevention of Stroke and Systemic Embolism in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF): Eliquis helps reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots that can travel to other parts of the body in people with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
  • Prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) After Hip or Knee Replacement Surgery: Eliquis helps prevent blood clots from forming in the legs after hip or knee replacement surgery. These clots can sometimes travel to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism.
  • Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Eliquis is used to treat blood clots that develop in the deep veins, most commonly in the legs.
  • Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism (PE): Eliquis is used to treat blood clots that have traveled to the lungs.
  • Reduction of Recurrent DVT and PE: After initial treatment, Eliquis helps lower the risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism from occurring again.

Apixaban is available as an oral tablet and is usually taken twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart. Your healthcare provider will determine the dose that is right for you based on your medical condition and individual health needs.

After taking a dose, apixaban reaches its highest level in the bloodstream within 3 to 4 hours. The amount of medication in the body decreases by about half within 12 hours, which is why it is typically taken twice a day.

The recommended dose of Eliquis (apixaban) depends on the condition being treated. Always take this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not change your dose or stop taking Eliquis without medical advice.

  • 2.5 mg
  • 5 mg

Apixaban: Tablet

  • 5 mg

Apixaban may cause a serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop symptoms such as:

  • Rash or severe itching
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, mouth, or hands

Contact your healthcare provider right away if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction.

If you are scheduled for surgery, a medical procedure, or dental work, your healthcare provider may instruct you to stop taking apixaban for a short period before the procedure. However, do not stop taking apixaban without first speaking with your healthcare provider. Stopping treatment suddenly may increase your risk of stroke or other serious blood clot-related complications.

Because apixaban affects the blood’s ability to clot, it may increase your risk of bleeding and bruising. To help reduce the risk of injury:

  • Use caution when participating in activities that may cause cuts, bruises, or falls.
  • Avoid picking your nose.
  • Blow your nose gently if needed.
  • Take extra care when using sharp objects, such as razors or scissors.

Tell your healthcare provider if you notice unusual bleeding, prolonged bleeding, or bruising that occurs more easily than normal.

What Should I Avoid While Taking Apixaban?

Avoid taking medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen unless your healthcare provider has advised you to do so. These medications can increase the risk of bleeding when taken with apixaban. Before taking any prescription medications, over-the-counter products, or supplements, speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist to make sure they are safe to use with apixaban.

Are There Any Fruits I Should Avoid While Taking Apixaban?

Unlike some blood thinners, apixaban is not significantly affected by foods that contain vitamin K. However, grapefruit and grapefruit juice may affect how certain medications are processed in the body. Ask your healthcare provider whether grapefruit products should be limited or avoided while taking apixaban. If you have questions about your diet, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Why Do Healthcare Providers Often Prescribe Eliquis?

Many healthcare providers prescribe Eliquis because it is an effective treatment and prevention option for certain blood clot-related conditions. Unlike some older blood thinners, Eliquis generally does not require routine INR blood testing or frequent dose adjustments, which may make treatment more convenient for some patients.

Why Is Eliquis Expensive?

The cost of Eliquis may be higher than some other medications because of factors such as research and development costs, patent protection, manufacturing expenses, and marketing and distribution costs. Insurance coverage, prescription plans, and patient assistance programs may help reduce out-of-pocket expenses for eligible patients.
